We are hearing a lot these days about a social credit system called ESG, which stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. Rather than judging companies merely on objective financial metrics, corporate executives are now being compelled by woke shareholders and regulators to demonstrate that the corporation is working to further environmental and social goals that have nothing to do with the company’s core services. Financial institutions are increasingly taking into account demands that companies reduce greenhouse gas emissions or preferentially hire minorities when determining if a corporation qualifies for business loans. This is now seriously interfering with the normal operation of businesses and potentially even individuals as the pressure for a western version of China’s social scores system is increasing.
To discuss all this and what must be done to kill the ESG nightmare, we have invited Donald Kendal to be our guest this week. Donald is a research fellow for The Heartland Institute’s Socialism Research Center, host of Heartland’s In The Tank Podcast and a graphic designer with the institute. Donald was a contributor to Glenn Beck’s latest two books – Arguing with Socialists and The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of 21st Century Fascism.
Join us this week to learn what you can do to help stop the ESG movement that threatens to destroy our way of life.
